Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Where is there no grass at the ends of the Earth?

He Xiuyu then pulled his blushing wife into his arms, gently patted her back, and said huskily, "Forget it, you’re tired too. Let’s rest early."

Qiao Qingyu reluctantly pinched his waist, then whispered something into his ear, which made He Xiuyu’s eyes brighten and his breathing immediately became uneven...

The next day, by the time Qiao Qingyu woke up, He Xiuyu had already left for a meeting.

There was a note left on the table, telling her that the base’s cafeteria had saved breakfast for them, and she could go down and ask the waiter for it. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Remembering last night, Qiao Qingyu squinted her eyes.

It had to be said that she and He Xiuyu were incredibly in sync in every aspect.

Thus, it was good luck that she hadn’t insisted on divorce, or else where would she find such a catch?

After getting ready with Rongrong, Qiao Qingyu went downstairs for breakfast. The breakfast was simple—two bowls of soy milk, a plate of buns, and a dish of pickles. However, the base office’s master chef was very skilled, especially the sauce for dipping the buns, which Qiao Qingyu on a normal day could eat only one.

Today she ate two, and even He Xuerong ate a large bun.

After breakfast, what to do? Take Rongrong shopping.

And buy some stuff along the way.

They couldn’t go to the He Family house empty-handed in the evening.

When they returned, they had a lot to carry. At noon, He Xiuyu came back to take her and Rongrong out to dinner. The guest was Yuan Hengzhi from the previous evening. After some thought, Qiao Qingyu declined, "I promised Rongrong I’d take her to eat freshly baked cake. Besides, I’m not very familiar with Yuan Hengzhi, and secondly, regarding last night’s matter, it would be more convenient for you two to talk alone; I’d be too awkward in between."

He Xiuyu laughed, "If you don’t want to go, then don’t. No need to make a list of reasons."

He then said, "I don’t have many friends in Beijing, just a few. How about this, we’ll invite them for a meal before we leave."

"That could work."

Although he wasn’t often in Beijing, He Xiuyu wanted to use this opportunity to introduce his wife Qiao Qingyu to his good friends.

However, it was just as well that Qiao Qingyu didn’t go today. He wanted to ask Yuan Hengzhi what he really thought. It seemed that Yuan Hengzhi was quite pleased with Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi evidently hadn’t completely severed ties with Lan Jianqing.

Lan Jianqing had no intention of giving up on Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi still had feelings for Lan Jianqing, but she was using Yuan Hengzhi as a shield. This displeased He Xiuyu.

Therefore, he thought it was better to have a talk with Yuan Hengzhi alone.

Thus, the couple split up; He Xiuyu went to the banquet, while Qiao Qingyu took a delighted Rongrong to a patisserie to eat cake.

It was newly opened, serving Western-style cakes topped with real whipped cream and fruit, along with ice cream for sale. The temperature inside was very warm and the place was nearly full of adults accompanied by children.

Qiao Qingyu joined in on the feast, indulging in the authentic cream cakes which were exceptionally fragrant. The two of them also shared a bucket of ice cream.

"The two of them had a great meal, one big and one small."

He Xiuyu and Yuan Hengzhi were drinking together at another restaurant.

The two men hadn’t met for a long time and shared some heartfelt thoughts, then He Xiuyu finally asked him what he thought about what happened yesterday.

However, he explained, "What Lan Jianqing said, I don’t know whether it’s true or not. I’ll call home when I have the chance, and ask what exactly happened back then. But doing the math on their ages, my wife was ten when Lan Jianqing was sent down to the countryside and only fifteen when he left. She was just a little girl, and she’s long forgotten him and whatever she said back then."

Yuan Hengzhi gave an awkward smile, "Xiu Yu, you don’t need to explain these things to me. It has nothing to do with your wife."

"Since that’s the case, let’s not talk about it. I just want to ask you, do you see a future with Bai Zhi?"

Yuan Hengzhi’s gaze darkened, he drank the wine in his cup, and then he said in a deep voice, "Xiu Yu, I won’t lie to you, Bai Zhi really is the type of girlfriend and wife I’ve always wanted, and she’s the first girl I’ve felt this way about."

"She and Lan Jianqing have a misunderstanding, obviously. Those two seem to have feelings for each other," stated He Xiuyu bluntly.

"But she told me last night that it’s all over between her and Lan Jianqing. They broke up a year ago and haven’t had contact for over two years. There’s no chance for them, and she can’t be with him."

"Does she want to be with you?" He Xiuyu arched an eyebrow and asked softly.

Yuan Hengzhi laughed, "If she has to choose between me and Lan Jianqing, any smart girl would choose me, right?"

If Qiao Qingyu were here, she would definitely scoff at that. It’s just like girls nowadays. In a few decades, it’s going to be Lan Jianqing, the dream son-in-law for many girls.

But in this era, it is really as Yuan Hengzhi said, especially given Yuan Hengzhi’s impressive family background—his great-uncle is a founding general, a very solid backing indeed.

He Xiuyu poured beer into his cup, poured one for himself too, and they both took a sip, set down their cups, and He Xiuyu remarked, "Forget it, this is your private matter, and you’ll handle it well."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Hengzhi burst out laughing, very heartily, "Do you really think I’m just a romantic fool?"

After downing the beer in his cup and boldly wiping his mouth, he said, "I’ve already made it clear and rejected Bai Zhi. She’s a good girl, but she has no feelings for me. She’s only interested in my family background. But what I really want is a girl who likes me, and whom I like as well."

Then he said with a smile, "Although we only met briefly yesterday, I could see that you and your wife get along very well."

He Xiuyu smiled, reassured. This was his good friend Yuan Hengzhi, a man who knows when to hold on and when to let go.

"For what you just said, I respect you and wish you find a good girl who matches your heart."

"And don’t forget to introduce me to someone suitable if you come across anyone."

"Don’t worry, don’t worry. But my job is in the Northwest, even if there is someone suitable, it might not work out," mused He Xiuyu seriously.

Yuan Hengzhi replied, "Forget it, you don’t need to worry. I was just saying it in passing. It’s not easy to find a good girl."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surprised voice came from not far off, "Huh, Chief Engineer He? Where’s Qiao Qingyu and Rongrong? Aren’t you together?"

A series of voices arose in the distance. He Xiuyu looked up and saw, haha, an old acquaintance. They had just parted in Yun City, and unexpectedly met again in Beijing. It’s true that Chu Ying was supposed to be in Beijing, but he hadn’t expected to run into her so coincidentally.

Before He Xiuyu could make introductions, he heard Yuan Hengzhi say nonchalantly, "Oh, isn’t that Chu Ying? I remember you always wanted to be He Xiuyu’s big sister-in-law."
